I'm from Los Angeles, California. My mother is from Santiago, Chile and my father is 4th generation Japanese. I grew up in a unique environment surrounded by many different types of people.

It wasn't until after graduating college that I ventured out on my own and backpacked through South America for a year. I spent time with my family in Chile and learned Spanish.

Fast forward 10 years later, I've now ventured out again. I ended up leaving my job in finance and started filming dance/electronic festivals full-time. I've always loved editing videos since I was a child and found a unique niche that propelled me into doing this full-time. I'm now interested in filming music videos, weddings, and hopefully a documentary sometime soon.

I'm easy going, open-minded, and go with the flow. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend invited me to a meetup in Sao Paulo. I've been staying at Airbnbs and would like to give this a shot before heading back to California.
